Windows and Mac: Adobe's new Soundbooth app promises to make short work of editing audio. The software can remove noise from recordings, polish voice-overs, add audio effects and filters, and create custom music to fit a production.

In other words, Soundbooth is like an upscale version of everyone's favorite open-source audio editor, Audacity. But if you're heavily into audio and want a working sneak-peek of this new Adobe product (before they start charging for it), the beta stands ready for downloading. (And because it is a beta, make sure to view the known issues list before installing. An ounce of prevention and all that.)
